Dan Nimmer is a brilliant young pianist from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, who is currently a member of Wynton Marsalis' Lincoln Jazz Orchestra as well as his small combo. He has already released two wonderful leader albums -- Tea For Two and Kelly Bluefrom Venus Records of Japan.

Yours Is My Heart Alone is the eagerly awaited third release, and the fans are treated not only with the youthful, beautiful and swinging piano of Nimmer, but also sublime performances by a superb rhythm section: Peter Washington on basss and Lewis Nash on drums! I honestly cannot think of any better rhythm section in New York or anywhere else.

Nimmer shows youthful enthusiasm, beautiful touch, impeccable technique and an uncanny sense of swing. By turns, he pays tributes to his jazz heroes throughout the program -- Oscar Peterson, Wynton Kelly, Red Garland, Paul Chambers, Ahmad Jamal and Gil Evans. Together with the deep, powerful bass of Washington and impeccable drumming of Nash, Nimmer swings so well that the listener is taken to a place of pure bliss.

Venus Records is famous for its dynamic and powerful "house" sound, but the engineers did a particularly good job on this one. The recorded sound is vivid, intimate and dynamic. If you are a living, breathing jazz fan, you will LOVE this CD! Enthusiastically recommended!

Produced by Tetsuo Hara. Recorded on November 25 & 26, 2007 at "The Studio" in New York by Katherine Miller. Mixed and mastered by Venus 24-bit Hyper Magnum Sound: Shuji Kitamura and Tetsuo Hara.
